Dinosaurs 101

#2 on our list of Weirdest Dinosaurs is 
Spikey Stygimoloch, Our Friend
His name--which can be roughly translated as "horned demon from the river "--is a good indication of Spikey Stygimoloch's weirdness quotient. This genus possessed the biggest, boniest noggin of any pachycephalosaur ("thick-headed lizard"); presumably the males head-butted each other for the right to mate with females (who clearly were most attracted to the ugliest males).
